Very exciting time for Indie titles and Godot. I see a lot of quite well performing titles coming out.

Kind of needed after UE5's continuous use of lumen+nanite disaster games, butchering everyone's PC's

I presume there is still no XBOX GamePass for Linux, or way to get it running under Linux.

Never could get into Rage-2, kind of got real bad reviews, lots of empty nothing to do in the gameworld I heard.

What people think about it?

The original Pillars of Eternity is getting a turn-based mode Beta on November 5

Turn based mode does make these games much more accessible for people and also easier since you can be tactical vs just zerg rushing with same combos until you RNG win.

One downside however is combat is drawn out for ages sometimes, normally they let you toggle it on/off depending on the situation.

Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark

I think game-pass also loosing its value has contributed.
They have increased prices, changed tier value, and removed games that would use to qualify in the basic tier.
Kind of reminds me of moviepass situation, good at start, but by the end it was a bit meh.

Valve fix some games on Linux / Steam Deck having incorrect Steam Play settings and added a chat warning

I got a malicious steam chat a few days ago, at first I thought it was a real person and their tag was funny so I said hi.

Then they just started spamming a link to a FREE STEAM GAME... its a fake website that is designed to steal your login and password which I didn't provide, naturally.

Want to avoid AI gen on Steam? This browser userscript might save your day

I'm not opposed of AI gen being used for voice acting (when done right and not stealing VA) if it means indie games can get full voice going vs just text scroll. However the use of it in art work is very questionable as it tends to spit out the same crap and really isn't needed.

I guess if it was used for texture creation it can also be quite good.

People need to remember that games have been doing procedural generation for a long time before this AI craze and it is very similar sort of thing.

Wish we could identify AI slop more accurately rather then just labelling everything that uses AI in some way somewhere being bad, because it won't be long before all games made use it in some form!

NVIDIA reveal new driver security issues for October 2025
11 Oct 2025 at 2:12 am UTC

Lots of DDOS being done these days. Its on the rise, AUR was taken down for almost a week I think.

Seems we have so many compromised devices in the wild these days, might result in the entire internet become one big DDOS farm if we aren't too careful. Another vector for the death of the internet I guess.

Battlefield 6 releases today and it will not be playable on any Linux / SteamOS system

big shock, EA has been quite hostile towards Linux for a long while now.

I hope they continue to sink.
